Country Paper Red Hot
AsHEvfLLE, N. C.-Ay Dear Son:
Wish you would please change the ad-
1ress Of my paper 10 this place. where
your mother and l are now staying. ]
got the kefisa all right last week. and
zee that you are going to enlarge II. 90
! have sold my hay in order 70 prepare
Tor the event
What i your idea for enIarging the
paper before the town enlargesP Ol
course am no journalist, but have
often thought that II had been doomed
TO issue . paper like the Rcfina, and
then answer at the bar Of judgment for
4. ! would not get power press till
the town got a good. dark-blue hook
and-ladder company and . post-ofiice.
] hope you will not try to Issue .
daily paper. anyhow. till We see how
stock looks when grass grows again.
! like your editorial on MARX An
tony" first rate. / can imagine how
excited the people Of your town were
when they saw the Refina Saturday
morning and read what your estimate
Of Mark was.
! wish you would incidentally pick
upa few Others Of those old people and
weigh them. That is one Of the luxur-
les Of running a paper yourself. You
can speak right out and walk all over
these people I would like to hear
what your honest convictions are in re-
gard to Diogcnes- 1t would be worth
almost what have put into your paper
as silent partner.
You can have no idea. Henry. how 1t
swells me up with pride and lofty dis
dain 10 know that while am sleeping
calmly under my roof-tree. as / heard 4
man call it once. you are showing up
those old FRAUDS like Julius Cesar and
Hamlet and Portcullis and Andronicns
and Mrs. Potiphar and other people
who have become historical.
While other people are friftering
away their time talking about highway
tax and boards Of health and all such
stuff AS that you are making red-hot
paper Of to-day; a paper that fairly
boils over with your honest convictions
about the political aspect at the time
that Caesar took charge of the tribune:
a paper that shows the average reader
that you are smart, whether you give
them the kindof stuff they want or not.
That was my idea when l sent you
N. -
whatever it was, where you went to
get educated wanted you to come
,ut with whole lot Of thoughts that
showed right on their face that they
we're expensive 1 wanted you to be
lble 10 tell down at the store how
much A. B and G would each have 10
Grind Of a circular grindstone four
eet three and one-half inches in
iiameter, with a square hole i'm the
'enter three and one-fourth inches
ZACH way, provided A pays one-sixth
4 the price Of the stone. B one-half,
ind G the balance. with the understand
ng that G shall use five per cent. more
han his share. provided he will turn
ne grind-stone. I wanted you to be
lble to talk with foreigners in their
'wn native tongue the darkest night
hat ever blew. I desired that You
night become a man who could walk |
p 70 an Italian as he plays his organ
oluntary beneath your easement. and I
I'll him In his own musical alarm
lock language what you think OF him.
So 1t pleases me to know that you
re printing a paper now. so you can
how of to advantage what have in
estsd in you.
Press right on. Keep writing up
lcse over-estimated men like Moses,
nd lido not care what you say pro-
ded you rise rapidly yourself. even
you do 50 upon the wreck and ruin
such men As Demosthenes and other
eopIe whom you will, no doubt, show
P before you get through.
hope you will lead up to Colum-
Is and Patrick Henry IN time to get
rough with them . little ahead Of the
lerifE.
Alter awhile l want to write little
'ticlc for your paper, not 50 much for
e purpose Of saying any thing. but in
der to show the contrast between the
'lished work Of . well-educated, smart
Jung man and the crude efforts Of
ain man who is entirely untitled for
cry thing except patei nal purposes.
We are having q good time here in
e South, enjoying the climate and
aking experiments with the butter
nich Is produced here. II
As warm weather approaches the
Duntain butter Of North Carolina il
ting its hair cut short. and can
ithfully say, Henry. that, although
I'm no epicure As general rule.
We had my palate tickled more since
anne here than ever did before.
Butter made in the Businesses OF the

. pale pearl gray, with . pin
ipe in II Of ultra-marinc. This does
look badly, and It sets OF hoe
